Valuated Stock to move to Non Valuated Stock

Question

Dear Gurus
I am looking into an issue from FI perspective and need your valuable inputs.
Business Case:
We have two plants (Plant A & Plant B). Customer would return expired stock to Plant A and these would be kept in Blocked Status as per QM guidelines. These stock are to be destroyed and transferred to Destruction Plant (Plant B) for doing the needful. However since we cannot use plant to plant transfer for block stock, we are left with using 506 & 505 movement type as the only solution for it. However finance would like to have no accounting impact for goods in transit since it has no real value. Hence it wants to writeoff the value (keeping quantitative details for MM intact) at Plant A itself and then trigger the stock movement. Since now the value is zero, it would not trigger accounting document.
We are working in following restrictions:
QA Guidelines suggests that we cannot move stock from Blocked to unrestricted just for this purpose
FI suggests that there shouldn't be by pass from norma standard sap transaction as 505 & 506 is not meant for this purpose
We need to find a way where we can convert selected stocks of a material code from valuated to non-valuated for this purpose.
Would be glad to provide any further clarification, should you so desire.
Appreciate your early response.

Answer 1

1) You can move blocked stock from one plant to the other if you don't use delivery for the STO
Stock tranfer order with block stock
2) If you want to move the goods via delivery from one plant to the other you first have to post the stock from blocked to unrestricted stock type. This is a must, technically.
I don't think the "QA guidline" should not allow this if you manage the process carefully - "QA guidline" should consider the real world and not prescribe something which is not possible or possible via development if you spend money on it.
3) Finance should also consider the reality. If the stock is valuated and you transfer it, it may have financial impact.
Would it be ok for finance to move valuated stock w/o financial impact?
If you want to have the expired goods in your supplying plant as non valuated, first you should set proper valuation type for them (if you use split valuation, you may have a valuation type like "EXPIRED" with 0 price) or you can do a material to material transfer (from the valuated material to a non valuated material). In my opinion split valuation is better since you won't loose the material number.
Of course, this will have FI impact in the supplying plant because you are making something of "no real value" from something of "real value".
If your stock is managed under the "EXPIRED" valuation type, I think you can move it to unrestricted because the valuation type itself clearly shows that the goods are of wrong quality.
The stock transfer should have no FI impact if the stock will be received as non valuated in receiving plant.
Just one idea.
